I wouldn't put Starbucks and very good in same sentence
, about the worst coffee around but they've convivced the masses this is what coffee is. I think when people say "strong" they somehow like that burnt ash cigarette flavor as they've grown up on Folgers, instants and whatever else that has that flavor and think that's what coffee is. I know b/c that's how I used to be and think coffee was as well.
Like Coffee Junky and others said, you should try some real local roasters or coffee shops that know what their doing. Starbucks doesn't even have baristas anymore, their just teenagers that push a button on a crappy superauto now. Back in the day Starbucks used to actually have Mazzer grinders and La Marzocco machines, and though the beans were still bad (though not as bad today) they people working there had to know what they were doing, then they put superautos in for "consistency" even if that meant horrible coffee, still get that same horrible "consistent" coffee at any store lol. They even over roast their light and medium offerings, their problem is their volume is so large they use some of the worst/highest defect beans and roast them so bad that you only get the cigarette roast flavor so it's consistent as well at any store.
I'm not sure where your located at, but if you try a roaster that knows what their doing, or a real local coffee shops that carries known roasters or roast their own, you'd see the night and day difference. That bold flavor you want will blow you away, as you can actually taste something other than cigs lol. And generally cheaper too.

I always felt like the frozen drinks were the strongest...but that also could be because they are the largest and probably contain the most sugar as well.

I can't stand Starbucks. It's called Charbucks for a reason. If you like overly burnt tasting coffee, then more power to ya. But if you like the taste of coffee itself, you're better off going eslewhere. And don't be fooled by those who tell you it's the size of the grind and temperature and pressure that determines caffeine levels. That is only partly true and not true at all. Roast factors heavily in caffeine content. When measuring by weight, dark roasts have less caffeine than light roasts because the process of roasting longer reduces caffeine levels in the cup. Type of brewing also factors in. Espresso uses pressurized infusion for it's brewing process. It results in highly concentrated coffee. But often the amount you drink is less than you would drink from other forms of brewing. There is immersion brewing where all of the grounds are immersed in the water and mantains contact with the water for a period of time to extract the coffee into the liquid. French press is one form of this. And the liquid is not filtered with paper but simply "strained" into the cup. Then there is filtration such as drip coffee. There are other forms of brewing but these are fairly common. Which one is stronger? Not sure it really matters. Drink what you like.

I think the Iced brewed Coffee is the best choice if you wanna try the strongest coffee!

I always found that the iced coffee was stronger than their normal stuff. It comes down to the bean though. If you really want to have a stronger drink, you can always ask them to add a shot or two of espresso. You'll feel it then, trust me!
